Office Online Chat
We want to use the Office Online Chat feature when concurrently editing a Microsoft document in Box leveraging Office Online.
0 votesWe want our users to use our commenting feature more instead. It’s not on strategy for us to integration with Office Online chatting features. Please file a Gap Request for web app so this in on their radar when prioritizing commenting features.

Receive Box browser notifications while using Skype
We would like Box to send Browser notifications in Skype whenever there is a comment directed to you (Facebook does it through Chrome).
We want to be able to keep a conversation in Box (which is possible now with comments) AND easily notify the participants that are not in Box or have not checked email, but may be in Skype.

Thank you for this suggestion! This is unlikely an integration Box will build.
Fujitsu can call our APIs and build this into their app.

Enhanced Locking User Experience / Show 'Would you like to lock?' Pop-Up After Clicking 'Open'
When I go to open a file from the webapp, I want Box to help me be a good collaborator, meaning prompt me with "would you like to lock this file while editing?" before the file actually opens (via Box Edit).
This isn't a request for a different lock/unlock flow with Box Edit -- it's a request for an enhanced experience between when a user clicks the 'open' button in the web app and when Box Edit actually kicks in.
ISSUE: Box's lock/unlock UX is very 'soft' right now, compared to SharePoint's and a traditional Windows file server. As such,…
5 votesLocking file has its own drawbacks about causing files to be inaccessible. We encourage users to use Office Online as a solution to avoid conflicts.

Due to the sheer amount of partners, Box is only able to build Web App integrations for a fraction of those partners.
This partner falls into the category that we won’t build an integration for them. They will need to call Box APIs and build against us.

SharePoint Online - Direct/Native Integration
Currently, the only way to 'integrate' Box with SharePoint in a standard way is to manually use an HTML web part in SharePoint to add a Box Embed widget to a SharePoint page.
This request is for an enhanced (and truly 'native') integration between SharePoint and Box such that:
- NATIVE WEB PART/UI: A user can easily 'add Box' to a SharePoint site/page
- AUTO-FOLDER CREATION: A Box folder tree can automatically be associated with a SharePoint site/page (instead of a Document Library in SharePoint), similar to the Salesforce integration
- PERMISSIONS: Automatic permission mapping such that the auto-created Box folder hierarchy 'inherits'…

Slack: Sync 'Comments' on Files Between Box & Slack
Right now, when using the Box + Slack integration, Slack imports a 'pointer' to a Box file (when a shared link is posted), and then keeps that file's search index updates based on changes that happen in Box.
REQUEST: Extend this integration further to sync any Comments made on the file between Box and Slack.
In Slack, I can add a Comment to the imported Box file by clicking 'add comment', and in Box I can 'add Comment' -- it'd be nice if the comment added to the file directly in Slack also synced and was added automatically as a…
4 votesWe understand the request, but unfortunately this is not on the near-term roadmap.

Jira Integration - 'Attach from Box'
Work with Jira to provide a Box integration allowing Box files to be easily 'attached' to Jira issues. Currently, users can choose from content locally stored on their computer when attaching files to issues, but this request is for:
- An integration that would allow the user to 'attach from Box'
- Once a Box file is 'attached' to an issue, Jira would then keep that content in sync between Box and Jira (just like Slack does)
5 votesThis is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

Lucidchart Enhanced Two-Way Integration
The current Box + Lucidchart integration is based on the 'More Actions' menu in the Box webapp.
REQUEST: Work with Lucidchart to extend this integration to a true two-way integration (similar/exactly the same as what Lucidchart already has with Google Drive - https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/google-apps), allowing the user to save to Box from Lucidchart and more.
0 votesPlease reach out to Lucidchart directly to get this integration request prioritized.

Consistent Support Helpdesk Info Across Endpoints
Currently, admins can control the Custom Support Information (Helpdesk contact info) that appears in the web app. However, admins cannot control the support information shown in all endpoints, like Box for Office.
This will help large enterprises avoid confusion with their end users.
0 votesWe are not planning to change this at the moment. We will reconsider based on additional customer demand.

Insert/sync metadata from Office DIP (Document Information Profile) to Box
Microsoft Office products have a Document Information Profile (aka the DIP) which allows users to add custom metadata to a file under the "info" section when a file is opened or being edited. WE would like Box to be able to identify this information and insert it into the metadata fields in Box.
0 votesInteresting proposal! We will reconsider this with additional customer demand.
